Super Science Competition Winners

"Gunnersbury Catholic School is a thriving, vibrant and caring learning community within which pupils are stretched intellectually and foster a love of learning, whilst feeling valued, happy and safe" (OFSTED)

The winners of the school’s Super Science Competition enjoyed putting their love of the subject to practical use on an unusually warm Saturday morning recently. The youngsters donned their lab coats and protective goggles to make alginate worms and to freeze water using a range of chemical solutions. Following a break for refreshments, the Year 6 boys and girls then moved on to show off their knowledge of aerodynamics by constructing gas powered rockets, which were used outside in a team challenge to enable pupils to test the physics behind height and distance.

Launched in partnership with Imperial College, our Super Science Competition drew over 900 entries from Year 5 and 6 pupils from primary schools across West London and Surrey : we would like to thank all who took the time and effort to take part.

First prize of a Kindle e-reader and Amazon vouchers for e-books was Khans Puvaneswaran of St Anselm’s Primary in Southall.

Joint second prize winners, receiving vouchers for the Science Museum were Philip Kapadia of St George’s Primary in Harrow and Conor O’Neill of St Joseph’s Primary in Hanwell.
